Questions

Yes. Many destination couples visit once or not at all before the wedding. We run site visits on video, share a planning document and hold scheduled calls across time zones.

When is the best time for a destination wedding in Kerala?

November to February is peak season, with dry weather and comfortable evenings, and the best venues book nine to twelve months ahead. The southwest monsoon, roughly June to September, suits covered venues.

What happens if it rains?

Every outdoor ceremony has a covered backup space confirmed at booking, with décor designed to move.

Do you arrange guest accommodation and transfers?

Yes. We negotiate hotel room blocks, manage the rooming list and handle airport and venue transfers.
